In Star Wars the Phantom Menace as the strike force is about to capture nute
Gunray Jedi Master qui-gon jinn commands the young Force-sensitive Anakin
Skywalker to stay in the cockpit of the n1 Starfighter but what if he hadn't how
would this change Star Wars history as you're about to see a lot changes
Anakin would not stay in the cockpit as qui-gon would not tell him to and
instead he would go and join captain panaka steam in capturing Viceroy Gunray
of course he would stay at the back to avoid being injured the rest of the
events of the Phantom Menace remain largely similar with the death of
qui-gon and the defeat of the droid army except this time it takes longer since
Anakin is non-hand to destroy the ship from the inside this results in more
Gundam fatalities including that of general Jar Jar Binks
sorry Jar Jar fans as the droids on Naboo take longer to deactivate
additionally Palpatine does not say he would watch over Anakin's career his
great interest as Anakin is not classified as a hero in the Battle of
Naboo so he's not brought to Palpatine's attention as much moving on one decade
to the events in the attack of the clones the events are similar with
Anakin and Padme going to Naboo and obi-wan tracking the activities of Jango
Fett to Geonosis Anakin still goes on his Tuscan Raider
rampage and obi-wan get subsequently captured the only significant change is
that this time without Jar Jar Palpatine does not receive emergency
powers to create a grand army for the Republic as someone with brain cells is
now Padma's representative instead the clones are assigned to the Jedi Order as
this was the only compromise possible to the Senators the subsequent events in
the attack of the clones remained the same with the Republic winning the
Battle of Geonosis due to the Jedi been butchered by their own clones
Anakin having his arm cut off by Dooku and the Jedi starting to get suspicious
of Dooku's warning about the Senate where things start to really differ is
true in the Clone Wars Sidious seeing the clones of ADEs grasp
now needs an army of his own together with Count Dooku they complete Darth
Plagueis his research to manipulate midi-chlorians and start creating a
legion of citizens far more powerful and effective at hunting Jedi than the IG
100 Magna guards this would lead to the Jedi responding by making more of their
Jedi Knights and masters such as Anakin Skywalker he does not have to suffer the
outrageous and unfair anguish and not being made a master very Sophie still
bombed the temple as there is still corruption in the Senate and ahsoka
leave the Jedi Order that brings us to the events in Revenge of the Sith and
specifically on Grievous's ship where Anakin this time does not kill Dooku as
Palpatine does no encourage him to do so as he still has use for him Dooku is
subsequently arrested in center galaxy prison but crucially does not reveal the
identity of Darth Sidious nor the secret Legion of Sith assassins Darth Sidious
of course manages to free Dukey and together with Grievous they launched our
own version of order 66 as the Sith assassins emerge from the shadows and
start to eliminate the Jedi and the smaller legion of clones
this forces the Jedi to flee to tithe on a highly for sensitive planet and
although the council members survived their order has been severely depleted
as in cannon Palpatine brand the Jedi's traitors and together with Dooku they
begin manipulating and taking over various worlds the Jedi subsequently
spend the next few years rebuilding their order
lifting the attachment rule to allow for more force sensitives much to Anakin's
relief as Padme gives birth to Luke and Leia but does not die in childbirth
they also gone small missions to take out any citizens and bring back for
sensitives to stop them getting into the hands of the Sith Dooku on the other
hand was beginning to ponder his lust for power and jealousy at Darth Sidious
was beginning to magnify but Khadijah fears master and become the true Lord of
the Sith yes his master was beginning to show signs of frailty but his knowledge
of the force surpassed his own and he himself was very old
he could not do this by himself together with grievous and the most gifted Sith
assassins they would confront Sidious on Mandalore where despite putting up a
valiant fight his age would eventually show as he'll be defeated at the hands
of his disciples news of Sidious his death spread like wildfire causing the
galaxy to go into turmoil and turn against Dooku and the Sith the Jedi knew
that this was their time to re-emerge began to take out various worlds of
assassins they would eventually catch up with Duke on sureno where he and
grievous would be defeated after an epic onslaught spelling the end of the Sith
and bringing balance to the force that is it for what if qui-gon never put
Anakin in the cockpit of the Starfighter as you can tell I went for quite an
ambitious storyline this time round if you liked it give this video a thumbs up
